Shooting Sports

Scout Units, Venturing Units, and Districts are welcome to request the services of Certified Shooting Sports Instructors for archery, rifle, muzzle loading rifle, shotgun, and/or pistol (Venturing Only) activities at the Bert Adams Scout Reservation or the Woodruff Scout Reservation. No need to bring any equipment. All of the equipment needed for the shooting events is available. Scouts who already possess shooting skills will be given an opportunity to complete the shooting portion of the Archery, Rifle, or Shotgun Merit Badge requirements. For scouts participating in shotgun shooting, it is suggested that participants be at least age 13 and/or physically capable of safely handling a shotgun. Scout's participation in shotgun shooting is at the discretion of the Shotgun Director.

Next Steps

To request a shooting sports program for your Boy Scout, Venturing, or District Event or for your Unit, please use this form. The number of volunteers available to staff your event will have a direct bearing on the number of participants that can shoot at a time. Because we rely on volunteers, there is no promise that your event will be covered. Please note the number of pistol certified instructors is limited.
